Another tick up. Should be top of the board on private unknown buying. Maybe it will tomorrow!!

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 16:19

This is one of the few exciting punts around at present. Big money to be made and big buyers moving in.

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 16:15

You timed that well knitcraft! Serious time now for small punters to get in or miss the boat with not many shares in issue.

[knitcraft] 06/4/2009 16:06

Barclays are acting on behalf of Gerrard Asset Management.

[knitcraft] 06/4/2009 16:04

Something does seem to be happening behind the scenes. Whatever and whoever are buying , and in that size, must know something.

Well done knitcraft. This time next year we will be a millionaires!

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 15:45

What is Mr Poulter doing? He's certainly not selling. But he's up to something.

[knitcraft] 06/4/2009 15:42

Got mine in the end at.85p
on plus markets lowest offer is .95p

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 15:39

Yep up they go, only went for a pee and another click up.

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 15:37

Running short on shares Knitcraft!

[knitcraft] 06/4/2009 15:34

Just tried to buy 100k , want 9p !!

[knitcraft] 06/4/2009 15:33

May not be Barclays as beneficial holders. They most likely will be holding on behalf of clients. Maybe CFD`s.

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 15:28

Knitcraft, with Barclays buying another 5 million shares they must surely believe disl are a good thing.

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 15:26

The broker says it expects Discover to reduce debt, to around 20 million pounds by the year-end and it believes "the spoils for the survivors will be great"


Disl bought up all the competition which means share price could go to a quid easy when things recover.

[knitcraft] 06/4/2009 15:19

At a capilisation of only £1.2 mill with any good news these quite easily get to 5p. Must be good risk / reward situation.

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 15:17

Another click up. Things are happening...good luck all.

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 15:14

ITV Forex, Pound moves higher against Euro and Dollar as IMF says house prices will start to recover early 2010.


I know when my house is sold i'll be buying a nice comfy new motor home.

[knitcraft] 06/4/2009 15:08

Only a small amount of volume on this and the price does tend to move disproportionately.

[someuwin] 06/4/2009 14:45

Fantastic recovery play here.

[this_is_me] 06/4/2009 14:43

I bought more first thing this morning - already in profit.

[harmoye] 06/4/2009 14:33

Buy now dally, I got in when Barclays upped their stake to over 8 million shares from 3 million.

Disl have a sale on and their shops are buzzing with business.

All buys today so far...

[5dally] 06/4/2009 11:26

Looking to top up here,,just a matter of when

[knitcraft] 06/4/2009 11:22

I spent 2 1/2 hours at Harringtons Delamere arond 2.00pm.
There were a good number of people looking round the vans and homes.
The salesmen were continually busy helping customers and all seemed very happy to do so.
The atmosphere was very positive and although I can`t quote any meaningful numbers of actual sales it seemed that even if only 5% of viewers purchased they must have sold a fair number during the weekend.
All things considered DSL seems well placed to come out of the last few years problems with a leaner business and in a position to really prosper in the current conditions. All the comments in the press point to buoyant UK based holidays this summer.

The chart looks good as well!
